In a sentence
I'm going home now
How it works
The whole sentence is casual and plain — no polite ます (polite) ending, so it sounds like something you'd say to a friend. もう (already) comes first to set the timing ("it's already time to…"). に (to) marks 家 (home) as the destination you're heading toward, and the verb 帰る (go home) lands at the very end in its dictionary form, where Japanese verbs always sit.
